Quite clearly, you have strong beliefs re: the President’s birthplace and, for that matter, the circumstances of Bin Laden’s death. I respect your right to hold these beliefs. But, as you know if you’ve read this blog long enough, I’m a strong believer in evidence-based arguments. This raises the question: what evidence would it take to prove that you were wrong in your claim that Obama’s birth certificate was forged, and that he is not a U.S. citizen? For months, the “Birthers” pushed for the release of the so-called long-form birth certificate. Obama complied – and you are still not satisfied. If photos were released of the dead Bin Laden, you likely would argue those too were fake. This suggests you are less interested in finding the truth than you are in pushing conspiracy theories regardless of their credibility. Unfortunately, these types of unfalsifiable arguments are a waste of my readers’ time.

The war in Lybia and catching Osama Bin Laden is just as coincidental as some document being signed in 2011 that shows that the current president is a legal US citizen, but does not prove he is a naturalized citizen, during the start of a race for presidential campaigning. Hmmm! Sounds like a lot of political positioning.
Actually, truth be told the document that is suppose to exonerate the president and prove he really is qualified to be in his current position can just as easily been falsified. The time to research his father and mother’s true origins and falsify their identities so there is no trace. Why could this not be a conspiracy, since everyone wants to believe that Bush’s administration was up to no good and he supposedly had hidden agendas, why would Obama not have the same intentions?
Show us the micro-fiche and show us that it was not tampered with and maybe we can exonerate the current administration, but till then you are not going to be able to prove anything with any credibility worth mentioning. We are going to have to trust what the media is feeding us and we already know we cannot trust them.
The fact that the president did not reveal the body of Bin Laden and they supposedly dumped his remains in the ocean and the world was not allowed to see any of it proves there is a cover-up. It does not disprove that it really happened but it does nothing to prove anything.
So, to say that Obama is awesome is to say that Hitler is awesome too. Obama is doing the same things that Hitler did in his time just before he started his campaign to conquer the world. I would have to think that Obama is a typical politician and has not hidden that fact that he likes to lie and just tell the people what they want to hear. In the light of this fact of being a perfect politician in the post-modern world, I would say, he could be looked at as being awesome but not in any other way, shape, form or perspective.
